Question

After the birth baby shower?

Share

I am considering having a baby shower after the baby is born. My friends would still do an "essentials" shoer before the baby is born. We are moving, I'm starting a new job and we will be away from family. I would like to do a party after so my extended family can all meet the baby during one trip back home. Is there anything I should consider?

I to had my shower after my babies were born but they did not attend. I think one thing you need to consider is that a new born has no immune system so having them around lots of people that early on is not always a good idea. people carry germs they dont even know they have not just on there hands but on there cloths. gettings sick that early is dangerous. Good luck.

It is actually a good Idea to have the shower after so that every one can meet the baby and know how big he/she is so they can buy appropriate gifts. I would treated just like a pre-baby shower and not much different, I would for sure do a registry so that you don't get gifts you already bought the baby.
